The Solar System. 

The Sim is the source of light and 
heat to our system. Its true diameter 
is upwai'ds of 887,000 miles ; its bulk is 
1,384,000 times greater than the Earth, 
and seven hundred times greater than 
that of all the planets and satellites 
together. It revolves on its axis in 
about twenty-five days, seven hours, 
and forty-eiglit minutes. 

Mercury is the nearest planet to the 
Sun, being about 36,890,000 miles from 
it. It performs its revolution round the 
Sun in eighty- seven days and twenty- 
three hours, which is tiie length of its 
year. The diameter of Mercury is about 
2,950 nules ; its bulk one-sixteenth of 
the Earth. 

Verina. — Distance from the Sun 
68,000,000 miles ; the length of its year 
is two hundred and tweuty-foui' days 
and sixteen hours ; the rotation on its 
axis is twenty-three ho\u's and twenty- 
tyone minutes. Its diameter is about 
7,800 miles ; its bulk is about nine-tenths 
that of the Earth. 

The Earth is also one of the planets 
that revolve about the Sun. Its mean 
distance is :ibout 95,000.(100 miles, and 
its diameter about 7,912 miles. 

Mars. — Distance from the Sun 
145,i^05,000 miles; the length of its 
year is si.\ hundred and eighty-six 
days, twenty-three and one-halt hours ; 
its't.rue diameter is about 4, .500 miles, 
which is rather more than half the 
diameter of the Earth. 



The Asteroids. — Yery small planets 
between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. 
Five new Asteroids were discovered 
in 1860, making the whole number now 
known sixty -two, of which Vesta, Ju- 
no, Ceres, and Pallas, are the largest; 
but all are invisible to the naked ^'e. 
They revolve at the distance of two or 
three hundred millions of miles from 
the Sun, and in jjeriods of from three 
to five years. 

Jupiter. — Mean distance from the 
Sun 495,917,000 miles ; performs its 
revolution in 4,334 days and fifteen 
hours ; its true diameier is 88,000 miles, 
and its bulk is 1,281 times that of the 
Earth. Length of its day, nine hours 
and fifty-five mimites. Jupiter has four 
satellites, or moons. 

Sotnrn. — Distance from the Sun 
above 909,000,000 miles ; the length of 
its year is 10,7.55 days ; its true diame- 
teris 73,000 miles ; its bulk is nine hun- 
dred and ninety-five times that of the 
Earth. Saturn "has eight satellites, and 
is also surrounded with a double ring. 

Uranus. — Mean distance from the 
Sun about 1,829,000,000 miles; it per- 
forms its revolution in about eighty- 
foiu- years. This planet has six satel- 
lites. 

Neptune., the most remote and latest 
discovered nlanet, is 2,861,000,000 of 
miles iVum the Sun. It is 35,000 miles 
in diameter; it revolves around the 
Sun in 164 years, and has at least one 
satellite.

Oerschel's "Weather Table, 

For foretelling the Weather, through all the LunntioiiR of each year, forever. 
This table and tlie accompanying remarks are the result of many years' 
actual observation, the whole being constructed on a due consideration of the 
attraction of tlie sun and moon, in their several positions respecting the earth, 
and will by simple inspection show the observer w'hat kind of weather will 
most proba1)ly follow the entrance of the moon into any of its quarters, and 
that so near tlie truth as to be seldom or never found to fail.

Observations.— 1. The nearer the time of the moon's change, first quarter, 
full, and last quarter, are to midnight, the fairer will be the^Aveather daring 
the seven days following. 2. The space for this calculation occupies from ten 
at night till two next morning. 3. The nearer to middaT/, or hoo/i, the phases 
of the moon happen, the more foul or wet weather may be expected during 
the next seven days. 4. The space for this calculation occupies from ten iii 
the forenoon to two in the afternoon. These observations refer principally to 
the summer, though they aftect spring and autumn nearly in the same ratio. 

5. The moon's change, lirst quarter, full, and last quarter, happening during 
six of the afternoon hours, ?. e., from four to ten, niav be followed by fair 
weather; but this is mostly dependent on the 7vind,i\s is noted in the table. 

6. Though the weather, from a variety of irregular causes, is more uncertain 
in the latter part of autumn, the whole of winter, and the beginning of spring, 
yet,^ in the main, the above observations will apply to tliose periods also. 

7. To prognosticate correctly, especially in those cases where tlie wind is con- 
cenied, the observer should be within sight of a good vane, where the four 
cardinal points of the heavens are correctly placed. 

7Vie above Table rvas originally formed by Dr. Herschel, and is now pub- 
lished with some alterations founded on the experience of Dr. Adam Clarke. 



True Time. 

Two kinds of time are used in Alma- 
nacs ; clock or mean time in some, and 
apparent or sua time in others. Clock 
time is always right, while snn time 
varies .every day. People generally 
suppose it is twelve o'clock when the 
sun is due south, or at a properly made 
noon-mark. But this is a mistake. The 
sun is seldom on the meridian at twelve 
o'clock ; indeed, this is the case only on 
four days of the year, vi/. : Ajiril 15th, 
June latli, Sept. '1st, and Dec. 2ith. 

Old-fashioned Almanacs, which use 
apparent time, give the rising and set- 
ling of the sun's center, andniake no 



allowance for the effect of refraction 
of the sun's rays by the atmosphere. 
The more modern and improved Alma- 
nacs, which use clock time, give tlie 
rising and setting of the sun's wpper 
limb, and duly allow for refraction. 
The i)ractice of settiug time-pieces by 
the rising or setting of the stin or moon 
is not strictly correct, as the uneven- 
ness of the earth's surface and inter- 
vening objects, such as hills and forests, 
near the points of rising and setting, 
0(rcasion a deviation in every ])lace, 
from the time expressed in the Alma- 
nac, whicli time is adapted to a smooth, 
level horizon. 



STATE ALMANAC. [1863. 



Xides at San Fraucisco. 

[By Prof. A. D. Bache, Superintendent U. S. Coast Survey.] 
Besides the ordinary changes in the time and hight of the tides known to 
all navigators, it is important to note the following, generally applicable to 
the AVestern Coast, and particularly to San Francisco Bay. They relate 
to peculiarities in the tides which occur on the same day, the necessity for 
knowing wliich is shown by the fact that a rock having three and a half 
feet of water upon it at low tide, may, on the same day at the' succeeding 
low water, be awash : 

1. The tides at Rincon Point, in San Francisco Bay, consist generally of 
a large and small tide on the same day; so that of two successive high 
waters in the twenty-four hours, one is much higher than the other, and of 
the two successive low waters, one is much lower than the other. 

2. The difference in hight of two successive tides, either high or low 
waters, varies with the moon's declination. When the declination is 
nothing, the difference is nothing or very small. When the declination is 
greatest, whether north or south, the difference is greatest. When the 
moon's declination is nearly nothing, the intervals between two successive 
high or two successive low waters, are nearly twelve hours, and differ most 
from tliis when the moon's declination is greatest. 

3. The inequalities in the bights of successive low waters are more con- 
siderable than those of successive high waters ; while, on the contrary, the 
inequalities in the times of high water are more marked than those of low. 

4. The average difference between the bights of two successive high 
waters is one foot four and a half inches, and of two successive low waters 
two feet four inches. The average difference of these same bights, when 
the moon's declination is greatest, is for the successive high waters two feet, 
and for the low waters three feet six inches. 

5. Tlie average variation from twelve hours, in the interval between two 
successive high waters, is tliree-quartcrs of an hour, and between two suc- 
cessive low waters, half an hour. The average variations of the same 
intervals when tlie moon is furthest from the Equator, are, respectively, one 
hour, and tbi-ee-quarters of an hour. 

6. When the moon's declination is north, the higher of the two high 
tides of the twenty-four hours is tlie one wliich occurs about eleven aiid a 
half hours after the moon crosses the meridian ; and whiin the moon's 
declination is south, the one which occurs about one and a half hours after 
the moon's meridian passage. 

6. Bis. Or the following rule may be used, which applies when the moon 
crosses the meridian between midnight and half past eleven, a. m., or 
between noon and half past eleven, p. m. : 

If the moon is south of the Ecpiator and passes the meridian in the morn- 
ing, the bigh water will be liiglier tliau the afternoon liigb water ; if it jiasses 
the meridian in tbe afternoon, the afternoon bigli water will be tbc higher. 

If the moon is north of tbe ecjuator, and passes the meridian in the morn- 
ing, the afternoon liigb water will be the higher. 

7. The lower of the two successive low waters of tbe twenty-four hours, 
occurs about seven hours after the liiglier of the two high waters. 

8. Tlic average difference between the hight of tbe biglier high water and 
of the lower low water, is iive feet eleven and a half inches, and the greatest 
difference is seven feet ten inches. 

The above rules were drawn up so as to avoid technical terms.

1863.] CONSTITUTION OF CALIFORNIA. 17 



Constitution of the State of California, with the Amend- 
ments thereto.* ^ 

We, the People of California, grateful to Ahnighty God for our Freedom, in 
order to secure its blessings, do establish this Constitution. 

ARTICLE I. — Declaration of Eights. 

Section 1. All men are by nature free and independent, and have certain 
inalienable rights, among- which are those of enjoying and defending life and 
liberty, acquiring, possessing and protecting property, and pursuing and obtain- 
ing safety and happiness. 

Sec. 2. All political power is inherent in the people. Government is insti- 
tuted for the protection, security and benefit of the people ; and they have the 
right to alter or reform the same wlienever the public good may require it. 

Sec. 3. The right of trial by jury shall be secured to all, and remain inviolate 
forever ; but a jury trial may be waived by the parties, in all civil cases, in the 
manner to be prescribed by law. 

Sec 4. The free exercise and enjoyment of religious profession and worship, 
without discrimination or prelerence, shall forever be allowed in this State ; 
and no person shall be rendered incompetent to be a witness on account of his 
opinions on matters of religious belief; but the liberty of conscience, hereby 
secured, shall not be so construed as to excuse acts of licentiousness, or justify 
practices inconsistent with the peace or safety of this State. 

Sec 5. The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, 
unless when, in cases of rebellion or invasion, the public safety may require its 
suspension. 

Sec. 6. Excessive bail shall not be required nor excessive fines imposed, nor 
shall cruel or unusual punishments be inflicted, nor shall witnesses be unreason- 
ably detained. 

Sec 7. All persons shall be bailable, by sufficient sureties, unless for capital

Internal Revenue Act.* 

OBSERVATIONS BY W. Y. PATCH. 

We present lierewith a very complete epitome of the Internal Tax Law of 
the last session of Congress, giving, in a most convenient form for reference, 
the various taxes therein levied, witli the penalties attached for the non-pay- 
ment of them, or for evasions of the law. The fullest reliance may be placed 
in the correctness of the various schedules. 

As the subject of internal taxation is new to our people, it may not be out of 
place to introduce our list and schedules with some general observations. 

The year eighteen hundred and sixty-two will ever liereatter be regarded as 
one of note in the annals of the Republic. And this, not more for the battles 
fought, the victories won, or it may be the defeats sult'ered in the progress of 
subduing the gigantic i-ebellion began the year previous, than for the Act of 
Congress, approved July iirst, of the year above named, which inaugurated 
the vast system of internal taxation, wuth which the American people have to 
become familiar during this and the next generation. 

In whatever view this measure presents itself to our minds, w^hether we 
consider the vast territoi-y over whicli it spreads its operations, or the diversi- 
fied interests, industries, and pursuits, which it subjects to its power, or the 
magnitude of the sum its provisions is intended to realize, we cannot fail to 
appreciate its importance as one of the events of our time, to which policies 
of Government may date back and from which divisions of party may take 
their rise. 

Up to the period of the passage of this bill, though the Constitution had 
given Congress express authority to levy excises and direct taxes, the National 
Government had relied mainly upon imports for its revenues, and thus the 
whole field of internal taxation, with an exception or two of but little moment, 
had l)een lefr, undisturbed to the States. 

This practice of the Government had its foundation, doubtless, in the desire 
of our Fathers to avoid all possible occasion for collisions between Federal and 
State authoritiea. Tims Hamilton said, "The particidar policy of tlie National 
and of the State system of iinance, might now and then not exactly coincide, 
and might require reciprocal forbearance."' — Fcdcraliat No. 32. 

And, again, "An effectual expedient for this purpose will be mutually to 
abstain from those objects whicli either side may have Iirst had recourse to." — 
federalist No. 36. 

And here we observe, at a glance, the wisdom of Hamilton and his co-labor-

ers in granting a power the exercise of which in an emergency might be of 
the hist impoitance to the credit and the hfe of the Government,' and the wise 
forbearance which for so good reasons omitted its exercise until such an emer- 
gency has arrived. 

A National tax on lands or real estate, is one in which collisions between 
Federal and State authorities would be the most likely to occur, for almost 
unavoidably, the same property might be subjected to some of the various pro- 
cesses of assessment, sale, redemjition, etc. etc., at the same time by National 
and by State officials. The land, or direct tax, is thus wisely, as we think, 
omitted in this bill ; and we believe upon a fair consideration and trial it will 
be found, that neither the excises and taxes themselves embraced in the law, 
or the processes provided for their assessment and collection need, necessarily, 
occasion any of the conflicts now alluded to. 

What was the condition of affairs which rendered this great revenue meas- 
ure so absolutely necessary ? 

Supposing this unhappy war closed by the end of the fiscal year, say July, 
•1863, it was seen that the annual needs of the treasury from that time" would 
stand about thus : 

Interest, say on SI, 000.000,000 of debt $60,009,000 

Civil expenses of the Government 35,000,000 

Army 50.000,000 

:Navy 2.'3,OOO,0OO 

Pensions 20,000,000 

To wbich might be added for Sinking Fund 20,000,000 

Total $210,000,000 

The most hopeful of our statesmen, twelve months ago, could make no show- 
ing more cheering than this, and certainly the larger dimensions the war has 
since assumed, the increased numbers of men in the field, the dearer rates paid 
for every thing used in the support of armies, and the vast numbers killed and 
maimed in battle whose names, or whose representatives, nuist hereafter swell 
the pension roll, render it certain, that any calculations made at that period 
would be under rather than over the mark. 

Here, then, was the annual sum of $"210,000,000, absolutely necessary to be 
raised by the country, and there were but two sources which could supply it — 
customs and internal taxation, the public lands having ceased to be regarded 
as a source of revenue. All tluit could be reasonaljly expected from customs 
was $60,000,000, leaving $150,000,000 to be supplied by the other measure now 
pas.sed into a law. 

It would be unreasonable to expect any very great degree of perfection 
in a measure of this character, so comprehensive in its scope, so various in its 
details, its necessity suddenly appearing and its speedy passage urged, almost 
clamored for, by the voices of a loyal people. The experience of numv years, 
and the information to be derived from well organized bureaus of statistics, in 
both of which the country was wanting, are indispensable for any intelligent 
judgment, either as to the selection of the soui'ces from which revenue should 
be sought, or the modes of its collection. 

It may be said of tliis measure, that as a whole, it is as perfect as any people 
had a right to expert from a single session of any Congress or Legislature. If 
the same care be taken by futui-e Congresses, to amend and perfect it, as was 
taken by the last one to organize it, a few vears will sutfice to give us a system 
which will be reliable and economical, ancl be suited to the spirit and temper 
of our peo])le. 

It may also be most justly said, that this measure is not one of a party or 
partisan character. A loyal people, utterly ignoring all past party distmctions, 
m their anxiety for the maintenance of the Constitution and the Government, 
and deeming a measure like tliis necessary for tlu-ir ])rcservatioii, with an 
almost unexampled unanimity, " asked " of their Representatives its enactment 
into a law. And they resi)(>n(led to their ]);itriotic coiistilueuts quite as unan- 
imously — there being but one negative vote in the Senate, and but seventeen 
in the House of Kepresentatives. Tliis fact may be wortliy of remembrance, 
for it is not unlikely that hereafter unprincipled 'men and unscrupulous politi-

cians, trusting to the forgetfulness of the people, and more anxious for the 
possession of power tlian the prosperity of the country, may attempt to use 
this very measure as an engine of mischief. 

A rapid gUmce at a few of the sources of taxation embraced, will convince 
us, that they have not heen selected without great care, and an evident desire 
on the part of Congress to distribute the burdens in such manner as to be most 
easily and conveniently borne. 

The tax on spirits and malt liquors, is probably the heaviest in the cata- 
logue, amounting to fully one hundred per cent, on spirits and twenty- 
five per cent, on ale and beer. In favor of this tax we have the experience 
of all countries where the theory and practice of taxation has been most studied. 
In England, the duty on spirits is two dollars and lifty-two cents per gallon, a 
rate entirely inadmissible in this country. A tax on the fixed habits, or it may 
be the confirmed vices, of a community, is alw-ays reliable to the Government, 
for these remain unchanged during decades of years ; and thus the duty Avill 
be ungrudgingly paid, rather than any curtailment be suffered of an habitual 
indulgence. And should a heavy duty gradually change the habits of a people 
in reference to this class of articles and diminish the consumption, the result 
certainly' should not be regretted. What we have said in reference to spirits, 
will apply, probably with'equal force, to the article of tobacco which is largely 
taxed. 

Licenses are a most important feature of the law. The objection to them 
amounts to probably nothing more than a prejudice, we being unaccustomed to 
a license of a lawful occupation by National authority. But when it is consid- 
ered that a license is not merely apermit to carry on a trade or occupation, but 
a recognition of it, and may be useful in protecting from unlawful and irregular 
competition, and that in its assessment and collection no sort of interference is 
necessary with the private details of business, we are quite sure that, as a 
large round tax is obliged to be levied, the popular judgment will arrive at 
the conclusion that this one should not have been omitted. We think it can be 
no just gi-ound of complaint, that the rate of licenses is the same to the small 
dealer or manufacturer as to those who sell and make on a larger scale. The 
manufacturer who produces less, and the dealer who sells less than one thou- 
sand dollars per annum (except the liquor dealer), are excepted; and, besides, 
the profits and produce of the heavier dealer and manufacturer, the law takes 
account of in the monthly returns and in the income tax. 

Manufactures, of course, in a measure of revenue intended to realize 
$15O,OO0,UQl», and proceeding on the system of this bill, could not be overlooked, 
any more than the representation of Hamlet be expected to succeed with 
Hamlet dropped out. The duty of three per cent, ad valorem, and those spe- 
cifically laid, will be as much a portion of the cost of the article produced, as 
the labor or tlie raw material which enters into their production, and this 
additional cost will be borne by the consumer. For a short time the manufac- 
turer may find it difficult to realize this increased cost from his customer, but 
viewing the tax merely as an additional cost of the article, a baief period will 
suflice to harmonize the relations thus disturbed. A drawback gives the man- 
ufacturers access to the foreign market as before, and a revision of the tariff, 
as respects articles disturbed by the tax, shelters from foreign competition. 

It is most likely that the working of the law has already discovered the 
necessity of some 'further revisions of the tariff. The wine growers of Cali- 
fornia, for example, representing an interest which ouglit to be fostered, ask 
the changing tlie duty on foreign wines from an ad valorem, to a specific tax — 
a cliange which ought to be made. 

Tke tax on incoynes is one hitherto unknown to our people. When we con- 
sider, however, that had it been omitted, a larger portion of the community, 
including the heaviest of our capitalists — the men best able to pay, would have 
escaped their fair proportion of the burdens of taxation, and that all the 
numerous classes of State and county officials would have contributed by no 
otlier mode, we shall be satisfied that the iniposition is but fair and just. We 
do not fail to notice besides, tliat a fair construction of language make only 
gains, profits, or net incomes liable ; that the assessment is made at a reason- 
able time after the close of the year, giving ample time for the adjustments of

business, and that exceptions have been very fully and carefully made, in order 
that the same sources of income should not be rendered twice liable. 

The. sin7npdi(tj/ is one which has worked well in the experience of other 
countries. The rates here are very moderate compared with those established 
in the En<>-lish laws. The greater activity of our people, the multitude of our 
sales and transfers, and commercial transactions, will make this a fruitful 
source of revenue, even at the smaller rates. Besides, it is a tax to be com- 
mended for the chea[)ness and economy of its collection. 

This hasty survey of the principal sources of revenue embraced in this meas- 
ure, serves to show us how universally it distribi;tes the burdens of taxation. 
Under it the poor man contributes his mite and the rich man is made to yield of 
his abundance. And this should be so. The rich and the poor alike owe fealty 
to the Government of their country ; and in cases of great emergency the lives 
of both and all of w'ordly wealth they possess, may be demanded to assist in 
its preservation. 

Finally, in the language of the accomplished Chairman of the Committee of 
Ways and Means, PI on. Thadens Stevens, " We have no fear that the loyal 
people of the free States will complain of any burdens which may be neces- 
saiy to vindicate the authority of the Union, and establish on a firm basis the 
principle of self-government and the inalienable riglits of man. So long as 
this money is honestly and economically expended, they will not repine. While 
the rich and the thrifty will be obliged to contribute largely from the abundance 
of their means, we have the consolation to know that no burdens have been 
imposed on the industrious laborer and mechanic ; that the food of the poor is 
untaxed ; and that no one w^ill be affected by the provisions of this bill whose 
living depends solely on his manual labor."

(State Taxes and Rights. 

No license provided for by the act, if 
granted, shall be construed to authorize 
the commencement or continuation of 
any trade, business, occupation or em- 
ployment within any State or Territory 
of the United States in which it is or shall 
be specially prohibited by the laws there- 
of - . . 

Nothing in the act shall be held or con- 
strued so as to prevent the several States, 
within the limits thereof, from placing a 
duty, tax or license, for State pui-poses, 
on any business, matter or thing, on 
which a duly, tax or license is required 
to be paid by the act to provide Internal 
Revenue. 



Decisions and Resulations Issued by the Commissioner of Internal 

Revenue, 

Which may be consiilied for a.hc.tter understanding of the various sections of 
the la to to which they refer. 

1. The s^eneral principle of the Excfge Law is, that each particular manufac- 
ture is taxed for its value ; though materials used in it.s production are, in them- 
selves, niauufaotures on whicli duty has lieeu previously paid. Tlii.s is true of 
shoes made from taxed leather, of engines nuide from iron on which u tax has 
been paid, etc., etc. 

2. A manufacturer's license should be taken out in the district where the 



44 STATE ALMANAC. [1863. 

manufactory is situated. The taxes must also be paid to the Collector of the 
same district. 

3; Goods sent by a manufacturing establishment to its accent, are regarded as 
still in the factory. , In such case the tax is due when the goods are sold, or 
removed from the agent's hands. 

4. A commission nierchant cannot be regarded as an agent : and whenever 
goods are removed from the factory and sent to a commission house, they are at 
once liable to assessment. 

5. Section 6 provides that any mimber of persons carrying on business in co- 
partnership, may he licensed to transact such business at the place, and in the 
manner specified in the license. In order that one license will avail for several 
persons or members of a firm, the Assessor must be satisfied : 1st, That a legal 
bona Jide partnership exists, and not merely an arrangement or understanding 
by w^iich to evade the full effect of the license law. i!d, That the parties have 
a place of business, and only one place, w^iich is common to all. 3d, That the 
alleged members are mutually responsible for the acts of each other, and that 
they jointly share the benefits and sutler the losses of a common business. _ 4th, 
That the parties on no occasion transact business on private account in the 
branch for which the tirm purports to have been organized. 

6. A lawyer having taken out a license to practice law in a certain State, for 
one year, will not be permitted to remove (with the design of permanently 
locating) to another State, and practice his profession there, without having 
first taken out a new license in the State to which he may have removed. If, 
however, the oflice from which the lawyer removes be taken by another law- 
yer, his license might be made available'to the newcomer under Section 63. 

7. A lawyer licensed to practice law in a certain State may, however, go into 
another Sta'te, or into another county of tbe same State, ou a temporary eniploy- 
ment to argue a cause or to give advice to clients, without being required to 
take out a license in such State or county. 

8. A lawyer who displays a sign at hi's residence, and transacts business there 
as well as at his office, must take out two licenses. 

9. If a person holds out to the public by words, deeds, or writing, that he is 
engaged in any kind of business requiring license, he must take license therefor, 
althouijh tlie business in question may not be his chief or exclusive occupation. 

10. Generally, the business of one "who keeps a stall in the market is that of 
a retail dealer'; there are exceptions, however. The Assistant Assessor and 
Assessor must judge in each ease. If the dealer sells chietiy or entirely to con- 
sumers, tliough he may often sell in the original packages, he should be classed 
as a retail dealer. If, on the other hand, his sales are generally in the original 
packages, or if it is his occupation to sell to those who buy to sell again, or if 
this part of his business is considerable, so much that he depends upon and pro- 
cures stock with reference to it, he should be classed as a wholesale dealer, 
even though he sells at retail. The law contemplates sales at retail by whole- 
sale dealers. 

11. A dealer Avho sells soap, candles, starch, tea, or other articles, by the 
original package, or salt bv the wagon-load, etc., etc. to consumers, is not a 
wliolesale dealer under the law ; but if he sells to those who sell again, he will 
be re([uired to have a wholesale dealer's license. A furniture dealer who sells 
a bureau, sofa or table to customers, for tlieir ow^n use, whether in the package 
in w^hich he received it, or not, is not a wholesale dealer. 

12. A person engaged in settling an estate, who collects rents merely as an 
incident thereto, and not as an occupation, is not liable to a license as a commer- 
cial broker. If, however, he in any way indicates his readiness to engage in 
such business, and accepts it whenever ottered, tlien he is liable to a license tax 
under Section 64, item 14. The amount of business actually done is not conclus- 
ive evidence upon the point. The main inquiry is, Is it the person's occupation 
to purcliase, rent or scdl real estate for others ? Nor is it necessary that he 
should be engaged exclusively in this employment. 

13. It is iuij)V)ssib]e to lay 'down an ari)ifrary rule by which to test a man's 
business, and decide whether he is a broker or "a banker. The law is explicit. 

, Assistant Assessors must exercise their best judgment, with the facts of each 
case in view. Parties who feel aggrieved can appeal to Assessors. If an at- 



1863.] INTERNAL REVENUE ACT. 45 

tempt were made to decide in advance, such a decision would confuse the judg- 
ment of tlie local officers rather than aid it. 

14. The tax of ten doUars upon billiard tables kept for use, as provided in 
Schedule A, does not apply to billiard tables kept for hire, and subjected to a 
license tax in vSection 64, Art. 20. 

15. Dealers in ice, wlio supjily customers from carts and wagons, collecting 
their bills monthly or at the end of the season, do not require a peddler's license 
for such carts and wagons, although occasional small sales of ice are made by 
such drivers. They do not travel from place to place for tlie purpose of selling, 
but to deliver what has been previously sold. The same rule applies to milk 
wagons, grocers' wagons, bakers' and butchers' carts, used to deliver what was 
previously purchased or contracted for. It does not apply to bread, meat and 
tish cartsj dealers in fruits and vegetables, owned or hired and run for the pur- 
pose of selling (peddling) their contents from house to house. 

16. A farmer who sells the products of his own farm, by ti-aveling from house 
to house, is not a peddler ; but a person who buys and sells, as an occupation, 
and does his business while traveling from house to house, or place to place, 
must take a license as a peddler. 

17. Photographers may be allowed to travel from place to place under license 
as photographers. Eacli license in this case should state the place of residence 
of the photographer, and should specify that he is to travel. 

18. The license of steam and sailing packets, as provided in Section 64, Article 
11, must in all cases be taken out, and the tax paid by the person or firm having 
the care or management of the steamer or vessel specilied in the law, at the 
principal terminus or landing thereof, whether such person or lirm be known as 
owner or agent. 

19. A regularly licensed auctioneer can sell the goods of a licensed dealer in 
such dealer's store; but he cannot sell the goods, wares, etc. ot an unlicensed 
dealer who is subject to a license tax at his (the dealer's) place of business, with- 
out being subject to the penalty. 

20. An auctioneer can sell such goods as are not usually included in the stocks 
of dealers, wherever such goods may be situated, without taking special license 
therefor. 

21. Persons buying produce, butter, eggs, etc., and forwarding the same to 
wholesale or commission merchants, to be sold by them, are not subject to a 
license tax in consequence of such buying ; provided, tliey buy for themselves. 
But if they buy for others, they are liable to the license as connnercial brokers. 

22. Nurserymen are required to take out licenses, as wholesale or retail deal- 
ers, as the case may be ; and tree dealers, who buy to sell again, if they ped- 
dle their trees, nmst take out licenses as peddlers, and also as dealers, if tliey 
have places of business. 

23. If weekly, tri-weekly and daily newspapers are published in one office by 
the same parties, and are composed principally of the same matter, though the 
matter in them nuiy diller to some extent, theVe can be no doubt that they are 
to be regarded as one paper, and are liable to taxation, if their combined circu- 
lation exceeds two thousand copies. 

24. A manufacturer of any article for the Government nuist pay the tax as 
though he were selling to an individual. 

25. When persons receive from a manufacturer of clothing, whether in the 
same town or at a distance, garments to be made, and when finished to be 
returned to the manufacturer or owner as aforesaid, such persons may not be 
required to pay the tax of 3 per cent, on the value thereof; provided, that at 
the request of the Assistant Assessor they make out a list subscribed and sworn ; 
which list shall contain the quantity of garments so nuule nj), during each mouth, 
and as near as may be the value thereof, together witli the name and residence 
of the person for whom the labor has been performed. Such a list siiall be 
transmitted by tlie Assessor receiving the same to the Assessor of the district 
wherein the owner of the goods resides, or has his usual place of business, to 
the end that the tax thereon due, under the Excise Law, may be paid in the 
district where the actual owner's place of business is situated. 

2G. l7L regard to Iron Canlingti. 

1st. All castings which are so well known, and so generally used, as to 



46 STATE ALMA>^C. [1863. 

have a commercial value, must be taxed as manufactures when sold or re- 
moved. 

2d. Other castinj^s made u])on special order of a machinist, but which are not 
known to the trade as nianutaotures in themselves, are exempt, not being man- 
ufactures witliin tlie conteiuphition of the law. 

3d. Where a person makes castings only, he must pay the tax thereon. If, 
however, he manufactures castings, and uses them himself in the manufacture 
of other articles, tlie tax can be assessed only on the last. The right to levy the 
tax depends upon the fact of sale, or removal for sale or consumption. 

27. Vessels and steamers that are built and launched in the ordinary manner 
are exempt from taxation. Several of the articles of which the v<essel is com- 
posed are considered as maiuifactures, and will be subject to duty. Nails, 
engines, copper, sails, cordage, etc. will pay duty as manufactures when removed 
from the place of manufacture. If produced by the builder of the ship, he is to 
be treated as a manufacturer of sucli nails, engines, etc., and to be taxed upon 
the product. Boats propelled by oars are regarded as maiuifactures. 

28. There may be vessels that would not be included in either of the specified 
classes, whose classification cannot be anticipated, and which must be assigned 
to one class or the other, according to tlie facts. 

2'J. Tiie basis for calculating the auKumt of license duty that a rectifier of 
liquor is subject to under the Internal Kevenue Law is, the number of barrels 
or casks containing not more tlian forty gallons each, produced by the process of 
rectification, and not on the (luantity ot jjroof liciuor used. Rectifiers will keep 
a record of the quantity of licpior produced, and will be required to make a 
monthly return of tlie same to the Assistant Assessor, subscribed and sworn, 
and to pay the amount of license tax accrued thereon, when required by the 
Collector. 

3i). Alcohol manufactured from whisky distilled prior to September 1st, 1862, 
and on which an excise tax has not been paid, will be subject to a duty of 3 per 
cent, ad valorem. 

31. Alcoliol, or spirituous li(iuors of any kind, can only be used by an apothe- 
cai\v in compounding medicines. 

32. When sold otherv.'ise, he will be required to take a license as a dealer. 

33. A license to wholesale liquor confers no authority upon the party holding 
such license to retail liquor. iSlor does a license to sell liquor authorize the sale 
of any otlier kind of merchandise. 

34. Stamp Tax on Express Receipts. — The item marked "Express" on 
page 89 of the Excise Law, was not intended to onbrace the freight business 
of railroads and ordinary wagoners, but is limited to persons who are express 
cai'riers, and not merely connnon carriers under tlie law. The distinction is 
very well known in practical business. The express cairier is usually expected 
to take tiie parcel, box or bundle from tlie house or phice of business of the con- 
signor to the lioiise or place of business of the consignee, while a railway com- 
pany receives and delivers goods only at its own stations. 

3.J. In the absence of specific language in the statutes authorizing the broader 
construction, 1 must hold that })ersons and coni])aiiies engaged iu transporting 
goods over tlie country, as such business is usually performed by railway corpo- 
rations, are not liable "to the i)<iynient of a stamp tax upon the receipt given for 
such goods. I am also of oi)inion, that the first item in Schedule B does not 
include such receipts for fieigiit as are usually given by railway companies. 

36. A receipt is, no doubt, in a technical sense an agreement or contract, but 
in tiie ordinary use of language this close construction does not hold. Had Ccm- 
gress intended to include receipts, it would have been easy to have so provided 
in plain language. 

37. 1st. Each insurance policy, whether fire or marine, must be 'stamped. 
2d. An open policy will re(jiure but one stamp where the risks entered under 

such jiolicy are all upon property shipped by or consigned or belonging to the 
policy holder. 

3d. Whenever certificates, or other evidence of insurance, are issued by the 
holder of an open policy, every such paper must bear an appropriate insurance 
stamp. 

4th. Whenever an insurance company refunds to the holder of an open policy 



1863.] HOMESTEAD ACT. 47 

any part of the premium, because tlie policy lias not been ntsed in full, tlie amonnt 
so refunoed may be deducted from the ])reniium received duriiij^- the quarter, 
and tl;e tax to the Government may be paid upon the remainder ; ])rovided, this 
rej^ulation sliall not aj>]>ly to money so refunded on which the tax to the Gov- 
ermnent shall not have been pievioui^ly paid. 

5tti. Dividends paid by mntuiilinsurance companies, in scrip or money, to the 
insured upon expired or expiring policies, are subject to the tax of 3 per cent, 
undei- Section 8:J. 

Gth. The agents of insurance companies located ^^•ithin the United States are 
not, in consequence of such ayency, connnercial brokers ; nor do they appear to 
be taxable under the law. Forei>in a^^ents are ta^able under Section 85. 

38. In stamping promissor}' notes or otlier instrui. -^nts recjuiring stamps under 
the provisions of the Excise La^Y, two or more of a smaller denomination may 
be used in numbers sullicient to anxount to the sum of the stamp requiied ; pro- 
vided, tliat they are of the kind denominated for the kind of instrument to which 
the stamps are ap])lied. 

39. A stamp will be required upon every certificate which has or may have 
a legal value in any Court of law or equit}^ 

40. Certificates, warrants, orders and di-afts by one State officer upon another, 
for the purpose of carrying on the internal business of the Government, are not 
subject to a stamp tax. 

41. The same rule applies to the certificates, orders, etc. of county, city and 
town officers. 

42. Messages transmitted by telegraph and railroad companies over their own 
lines, on their own business, for which they receive no pay, are not taxable.

or given aid and comfort to its enemies, and that such application is made for

laws' of the State in which such children for the time being have their domicil, 
sell said land for the benefit of said infants, but for no other purpose ; and tlie

Abstract of the Laws 

REGULATING THE SALE OF SWAMP AND OVERFLOWED, TIDE, AND MARSH 

LANDS. 

Any person who is, or may be, entitled by the laws of California to become 
a citizen thereof, wishing to purchase such lands, must file an affidavit in the 
office of the County Surveyor in wliich the larger portion thereof is situated, 
setting forth that he has hot purchased any other lands under former acts, 
which together with the lands now sought to be purchased, exceed in the 
aggregate six hundred and forty acres ; that he has no knowledge of any other 
legal or equitable claim than his own, and that every forty acre lot, or its 
equivalent subdivision, of the land sought to be purchased, is the greater part 
swampy, or subject to inundation, at tlie planting, growing, or harvesting sea- 
sons, so as to endanger, injure, or destroy the crop, taking the average seasons 
for a reasonable number of years, prior to the year 1850, as a rule of determi- 
nation. 

The County Surveyor then proceeds to make a survey of the land sought to 
be purchased, unless a previous survey has been matie of the tract, and in 
either case, he makes out a plat and held notes therefor, and after recording 
the same, forwards duplicate copies to the State Surveyor-General, within ten 
days after such survey may be completed or approved, 'together with a copy of 
the affidavit of the applicant. 

If the Surveyor-General upon examination finds the same correct, he returns 
one of the duplicate copies, with his approval indorsed thereon, to the said 
County Surveyor, who records the approval, and delivers the said copy to the 
applicant who is required within thirty days from the date of the record of the 
approval to pay to the Treasurer of the county one dollar for each acre con- 
tained in the said survey ; to take duplicate receipts for the same, and have 
them recorded by the Count}'^ Au<iJtor, who transmits a copy thereof to the 
State Register as soon as it is recorded. 

If, however, the purchaser desires, he can pay only twenty per cent, of the 
purcliase money in advance, and have a credit ol live years on tlie balance, by 
paying ten per cent, interest on the deferred payments yearly in advance. 

Persons purchasing land on a credit, who shall fail to make the required pay- 
ments, or any of them, forfeit their rights to the land and any partial pay- 
ments they m:iy have made, subject, however, to legal decisions."^ 

The State Register, on the receipt of a certificate from the State Treasurer 
that payment has been made according to the provisions of law, issues a " cer- 
tificate of purchase," designating the land purchased by tlie proper section, 
township, and range, connecting with the United States surveys. 

Tliese certificates are. by law, made prima facie evidence of title, but any 
person holding one, either as principal or assignee, can on presentation of th*e 
same to the Governor, obtain a patent for the land specified therein ; provided, 
he shall find the land belongs, or has been confirmed, to the State, and that full 
payment has been made for the same. 



BOARD OF SWAMP LAND COMMISSIONERS. 

Whenever a petition shall be received by the Board from the holders of 
patents or certificates of purchase, on a tract of swamp and overHowed lands, 
susceptible of our mode or system of I'eclamation, represented by one-third in 
acres of said tract, asking for the drainage and reclamation of said land, the 
Board shall appoint an Engineer to make surveys, examinations, and a report. 



50 STATE ALMAKAC. [1863. 

If from the report and estimates of the Engineer it appears that the total cost 
01 all expenses incident to said reclamation, will not exceed in the aggregate 
one dollar per acre, including sums subscribed by individuals, the Board in its 
discretion may adopt the plan recommended, or any other, and proceed to con- 
tract for the work by receiving proposals for the same. 

Levees or embankments, previously constructed by individuals, are to be 
paid for. 

School Lands. 

The Bchool lands of this State are derived from a grant by Congress of the 
16th and 36th sections in each township of six miles square of the whole Stare, 
and from a specific grant of 500,000 acres, making in the aggregate over 
6,000,000 acres. 

When sections 16 and 36 are unincumbered public lands, they belong to the 
State, and can be selected and disposed of at any time ; but when they are 
reserved for public uses — included in a public or private grant — or made frac- 
tional, or are wanting by the interposition of the ocean, a bay, river, lake, 
swamp or marsh, or from any other cause, then the State can select "other 
lands" in lieu thereof, to make up the deficiency, so that every toAvnship in 
the State shall have the proceeds of those sections for School purposes. 

Under the laws of the State, for the selection and sale of those School lands, 
any person that is or may become a citizen thereof, may pui'chase from 40 to 
320 acres, at the rate of one dollar and twenty-five cents per acre, which he 
can pay at once, or twenty per cent, on the purchase money, and ten per cent, 
interest per annum, in advance, on the deferred payment, and the balance in a 
series of years. 

If the particular township in which the land sought to be entered and pui-- 
chased is situated, has been sectionized by the United States, then all the appli- 
cant has to do, is to make application direct to the State Locating Agent of his 
district, who has blanks for the purpose, containing the following certificate : 

"I, , of , being duly sw^orn, depose and say, that I am 

an applicant for the purchase and location of the above described lands, and 
that to the best of my knowledge and belief there is no valid claim existing 
upon the land so described, adverse to the claim I hold, and apply to be located ; 
and that there is no improvement of any kind or description on said land, other 
than my own." A similar certificate, as to the claim to the land, has to be 
made by two witnesses. 

The apiilication being signed and sworn to, the Locating Agent then makes 
application to the Register of the United States Land Office in his district, for 
the land sought to be purchased ; and on his acceptance ot the same, the appli- 
cation of the party, and also the acceptance of the United States Register, are 
forwarded to the State Surveyor-General at Sacramento, who, after sixty days, 
on examination and if found correct, approves of the same, and returns his cer- 
tificate of approval to the applicant ; who, on its reception, and Avithin 50 days 
from the date thereof, pays to the Treasurer of the County the fall amount, or 
a part as previously specified, and as he may prefer. 

In case the land sought to be purchased is'situated in a tow^nship that has 
not been sectionized by the United States, then the person desiring to purchase 
makes application to tlie County Surveyor of the proner County, desiring him 
to make a survey of the particular tract selected ; and when made, he delivers 
to the applicant a certificate, with a plat and field notes of the tract, which he 
presents to the Locating Agent, and then the proceedings are asbefoi^e. 

In either case, on maldng payment to the Treasurer of the County, he takes 
duplicate receipts, which have to bo recorded by the County Auditor, who 
transmits a copy of tlie receipt to the State Register, and in retusn the applicant 
receives a " certificate of purcliase," which, after the land has been certified 
over to tlie State by the General Govei-nment, has to be surrendered for a 
patent from the Governor. 

The law makes provision for forfeiture for nonpayment, and for floating in 
case the land is not legitimately public.

Collection District, California— comprising the City and County of San Francisco,

indicate the productiveness of the measure in the country at large. It should be 
mentioned, however, that one important tax, that on income, is not levied or col- 
lected until Spring, and that of stamps has not as yet taken effect in this district.

Population of Oreat Britain, 1861. 

The census was takeu ou the 8th of April, and on tliat day the population of 
England and "Wales, and of the islands in the British seas, was 20,205,504. It Avas 
estimated that the portion of the army, navy, and merchant seamen out of the couu- 
tiy belonging to England and Wales, not enumerated, was 162,021. The actual 
increase of the population in these divisions of the kingdom since 1851, was 2.169,576 
— about 12 per cent. The islands in the British seas had a population of 143,779. 

In respect to the sexes, there were 9,825,246 males, and 10,380,258 females, showing 
an excess of 555,012 females. 

The number of inhabited houses enumerated was 3,745,463, of uninhabited 153,494, 
total 8,898,957; being an increase of 467,424 since 1851. This gives 5'33 inmates for 
each inliabited house. 

In eleven districts there was an excess of registered births over registered deatlis 
of 2,260,576, and in the same districts there was an ascertained increase of 2,134,116 
persons. 

The census of Scotland, taken on the same day, e.xhibits a total population of 
3,061,251, of whom 1,446,982 were males, and 1,614.269 females. Tliere were 679,025 
separate families, and 393,289 inhabited houses. The number of children attending 
school between the ages of five and fifteen was 456,699. The increase in the whole 
population since 1851 was 172,509, or a trifle over 6 per cent. The females outnum- 
bered tlie males in Scotland by 1(57,287. 

In the returns for Scotland a list of seventy-six cities and towns is given, contain- 
ing 1,244,578 inhabitants. Whether this comprises the entire urban, as distinguished 
from the rural population, does not ai)pear; but such is probably the I'act, since a 
lew of the places named are mere villages or hamlets of less thaii 50O inhabitants.

at the rate of 21'27 per cent., and the decrease .Miice 1851 was 508 per cent. It was 
found that there wcie 114 families in each lious-e. 

The number of families returned was 1,129,218, showing a decreii.^'e of 75,101, or 
624 per cent, on the returns for 1851. The decrease from 1841 to 1851 Avas 268,468 
families, beinof at the rate of 1823 per cent.: (tlie average number of persons to a 
family iu 1861 was 510; in 1851, 544 ; in 1841, 554;) icsults showing a gradual 
tliinning out of the households, attributable to cmigratiou and tjie other causes 
leading to a decline in the population 

From these statements it will be perceived that the people of Great Britain and 
Ireland but little exceeds twenty-nine millions, and that tlie pojjulation of the United 
States has not only, for the lirst time, reached that of the mother country, but has 
run beyond her near two and a half millions of jjeople. 

* The number of Chinese in San Francisco, as set forth by the Census of 1860. as published 
in this State, is 2,616. This is without doubt included with the white population in this 
table.— Editor.

The annual circulation of the Newspaper and Periodical Press amounts to 26,111,7S8 
cojiies; which, according to the late Census,- give at the rate of 72 sheets for each white 
male iiiliabitant of the State— which is 112 per cent, more than the average throughout 
the United States. 



Alortality in California, I860. 

During the year ending June, 18G0, 3,705 persons died in California, of which 1,232 were 
females; of the entire number, 4G2 died from unnatural causes. 



Measures, not !M!en. 



Men arc ofton measured by weipflit of 
intellect or character, which is very diver- 
silied, i)Ut not more than tlieAveights and 
measures of men in dlHerent rcfjions, by 
wliich tliey measure mercliandise and 
produce to one another. For instance, a 
Bauiiki. HIkasukk. Wliat is it'/ 'J'liis 
it is, when sellinf^ the following; articles: 

Cider and other li(inids, 30 jiullons. 
Rice, (500 lbs. Flour, lOO lbs. Powder, 25 
lbs. Corn, as bon.ijht and sold in Ken- 
tucky, Tennessee, etc., 5 bushels of slielle<l 
corn. As bought and sold at Aew Or- 
leans, a flour bairel full of cars. I'ota- 
toes, as sold in New York, a barrel coii- 
taius 2}^ bushels. Fork, a barrel is 200 



lbs., distinguished in quality by "clear," 
"mess," "prime." A ban-el of beef is 
the same weight. 

A barrel ot salt, in one place, is 280 lbs., 
and in another " /ive bushels," though in 
measuring the bushel, cubic inches arc 
not resorted to, but i)oniuls, arbitrarily 
calling a bushel of salt 5'j lbs. iu one 
place," and 50 lbs. iu another. 

A BiTBiTKL Mkasiirk. — Tlic legal bushel 
of America is the old Winchester measure 
of 2,irj()-42 cubic inches. The imperial 
bushel of England is 2,218'142 cubic inch- 
es; so that 32 English bushels are about 
equal to 33 of ours. 

Although wo arc all the time talking 



1863.] 



MEASURES, NOT MEN. 



85- 



about the price of grain, etc., by the 
bushel, we sell by weight as follows: 

Wheat, beans, potatoes, and clover 
seed, 60 lbs. Corn, rye, flax seed, and 
onions, 56 lbs. Corn on the cob, 70 lbs. 
Buckwheat, 52 lbs. Barley, 48 lbs. 
Hemp seed, 44 lbs. Timothy s'eed, 45 lbs. 
Castor beans, 46 lbs. Oats, 35 lbs. Bran, 
20 lbs. Blue grass seed, 14 lbs. Salt : the 
real weight of coarse salt is 85 lbs. Dried 
apples, 24 lbs. Dried peaches, 33 lbs. ac- 
cording to some rules, but others are 22 
lbs. for a bushel; while in Indiana, dried 
apples and peaches are sold by the heap- 
ing bushel. So are potatoes, turnips, 
onions, apples, etc., and in some sections 
oats are heaped. A bushel of corn in the 
ear is three heaped half bushels, or four 
even full. 

In Tennessee, a hundred ears of corn is 
sometimes counted as a bushel. At Ches- 
ter, England, a bushel is 32 gallons; at 
Carlisle, 24 gallons; at Penrith, 16 gal- 
lons; at Abbiugton, 9 gallons. 

A hoop 183^ inches diameter, 8 inches 
deep, holds a Winchester bushel. A box 
12 inches square, 7 and 7 1-32 deep, will 
hold half a bushel. A heaping bushel is 
2,815 cubic inches. 

A Gallon Measure. — An English im- 
perial gallon is 10 lbs. of distilled water 
at 62° Fahrenheit, when the barometer 
stands at 30. This is 277,274 cubic inches. 
The old >vine measure in use here is 231 
inches; and " beer measure" 282 inches. 

The question, if asked: "What is a 
gallon measure?" can only be answered 
by measuring the man who is buying or 
selling. 

Land Measure. — An English imperial 
acre is 4,840 scjuare yards, or 160 square 
rods. A square 13 rods upon each side 
is commonly counted an acre; it is nine 
rods over measure. A square 22 yards 
upon each side is one-tenth of an acre. 

The folloAving gives the comparative 
size in square yards of acres iu diflerent 
countries : 

English acre, 4,840 square yards ; Scotch, 
6,150; Irish, 7,840; Hamburg, 11,545; 
Amsterdam, 9,722 ; Dantzic, 6,650 ; 
France, (hectare) 11,960; Prussia, (mor- 
gen) 3,053. 

This difference should be borne in mind 
in reading of the products per acre in 
different countries. Our land measure is 
that of P^ngland. 

COVERNMEKT LAND MEASURE. — A 

township, 36 sections, eacli a mile square. 

A section, 640 acres. 

A (piarter section, half a mile square, 
160 acres. 

An eighth section, half a mile long, 
noith and south, and a quarter of a mile 
wide, 80 acies. 

A sixteenth section, a quarter of a mile

The sections are all divided in quarters, 
which ai-e named by the cardinal points 
as in section one. The quarters are di- 
vided in the same way. The description 
of a 40 acre lot would read : The south 
half of the west half of the southwest 
quarter of section 1 in township 24, north 
of range 7 west, or as the case might be ; 
and sometimes will fall short, and some- 
times overrun, the number of acres it is 
supposed to contain. 

A Mile Measure.— A standard Eng- 
lish mile, which is the measure that we 
use, is 5,280 feet iu length, 1,760 yards, or 
320 rods. A strip one rod wide and one 
mile long, is two acres. By this it is easy 
to calculate the quantity of land taken 
up by roads, and also how much is wasted 
by fences.

of miles in different countries, comx^ared 
with the English mile :

A load of manure is 36 cubic feet, and 
will average 2,016 lbs. of the first, and 
1,728 lbs. of the second. Eight loads, of

cord is 128 cubic feet. 

The most convenient system of weights 
and measures in the world is that of 
France, because all the divisions are by 
decimals. Thus their measures of weights 
are as follows, with the equivalent in 
Troy grains : 



Grammes. Grains. 

Miligramme 001 01.534 

Centigr; mme 01 15434 

Decigr; mme 1 l-54;34 

Gramme. 1 15-434

Hcctogranmie ,..•. 100 1543'4 

Kilogramme 1000 15134 

My riagranmie 10000 154340 

The liquid measure, solid measure, su- 
perficial measure, linear measure, in 
France, are all equally simplified. The 
metre is 1; the hectometre 100; the kilo- 
metrcl,000 ; the myriametrc 10,000 metres. 
All the divisions and multiples of the 
units of all measures are decimal. 

If that happy time should ever come 
when this country is governed by meas- 
ures instead of men, or the sectional in- 
terest of this or that party, we may be 
able to have a national system of weights 
and measures, founded upon reason, and 
adapted to the understanding and uni- 
versal wants of the i»eople, who are now 
tied to the absurd rule of that old English 
measure, 3 barley corns make 1 inch ; 12 
inches 1 foot; 3 feet 1 yard; 5i^ yards 1 
rod; or the still more ridiculous measure 
of weights based upon the supposition 
that 7,000 grains of barley would weigh 
a pound by one rule, and 5,760 grains by 
another rule, with the multiples and divis- 
ions more ridiculous than anything else in 
the world, except the multiplication and 
divisions of political parties in America.
